This book addresses the dilemma created by the discrepancy between our efforts to prevent adolescent pregnancy and our support of adolescent parenthood, which the author argues is America's greatest unrecognized public health crisis. It is the most preventable cause of crime and welfare dependency, and because we hold no expectations for parents who conceive and give birth to children, rates of child neglect and abuse in the United States far exceed those of other developed nations. Westman explores the circumstances and values that make motherhood seem to be girls' best option and that induce males to conceive without the ability to support their children. It proposes a feasible legal procedure as the basis for ensuring that adolescents' babies have competent parents with the resources and environments they need.

Our primary mission is to serve and support parents who have an aggressive teen within the home. Parents do the best they can with the tools they have. Most often, there is not enough support for the parents who go through this transition phase of their lives with their teens. Quite often, many parents of angry, aggressive children feel judged by others for 'not controlling' their child. If you are like so many parents of angry, aggressive or violent children, you probably have already consulted numerous therapist, social workers, counselors, psychiatrists, medical doctors and other professionals in an effort to help your child. By now, you must be exhausted- emotionally, physically and financial depleted. Still, you struggle to carry on. Often, no matter what you do, it never seems to get any better. If you can relate, you are in the right place. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Breaking the Cycle was founded on the belief that parenting is no easy task, and parenting an angry, aggressive or, even a violent child, is 100 times more challenging. This guide focuses on elevating the needs of you the parent.
